1890 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS).，This is a frosty, sharply struck example bathed in blended medium orange and pale rose patina. Double eagle production was now primarily centered out West at San Francisco, with only modest numbers coming off the presses back East. Some 75,940 pieces were struck at Philadelphia, fewer than Carson City and dwarfed by the output at San Francisco. As the "Free Silver" movement gained steam domestically, bankers and businesses overseas began to worry that their US obligations would be repaid in silver with its lower intrinsic value and began to hoard double eagles in large quantities. Most of the surviving examples that managed to return stateside are heavily abraded and bruised from their time being shuttled around in large sacks. Choice Mint State specimens are not often encountered and command attention when offered. Not to be overlooked.<p>，，
